Reviewed July 2024Tasted in magnum, the nose offers yeasty bready aromas topped with fresh citrus, hints of stone fruit and strawberry tart. A palate of fresh croissants, red berries, green apple and lively lemon citrus, with the larger format lending lovely creaminess to the bright finish. Veuve Clicquot's iconic Yellow Label is a blend of 30% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier and 50% Pinot Noir, which provides the cuvée's signature structure. Up to 45% reserve wines in the blend ensure consistency. (JS)

This has aromas of grapefruit, pomegranates, and biscuits. It’s honeyed and sleek with a medium body and supple bubbles. Soft and creamy finish. Majority pinot noir, with chardonnay and meunier. Around 40% reserve wines. 10g/l dosage.

Tasted from magnum, the silver/straw-colored NV Champagne Yellow Label Brut has an assertive and expressive nose with flinty notes of apricot and toast that lift from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it’s juicy and inviting on the palate, with a silky texture, a rounded feel, a very fine, pinpoint mousse, and a rather long finish. it is quite pleasing out of magnum, which is kept five years rather than three.

Wine Spectator
This harmonious Champagne is appealing for its refreshing, aperitif style, yet there’s greater focus than is typical for an aperitif to the notes of patisserie apple and pear, lemon parfait, chopped almond and oyster shell. Its vibrant acidity and lacy texture carry the profile on the mineral-driven finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. (AN)
